'Why on Earth should we believe that?' Musk promise met with scorn

Raw Story  

Elon Musk, now serving as a "special government employee," and his associates at the Department of Government Efficiency, reportedly have gained access to government computers at multiple federal agencies. The New York Times reported over the weekend that the Treasury Secretary "gave representatives of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency access to the federal payment system late on Friday, according to five people familiar with the change, handing Elon Musk and the team he is leading a powerful tool to monitor and potentially limit government spending." RELATED: Dems Blocked From Entering USAID Offices: ‘Illegal and Corrupt’ Politico did not explain what Bessent meant by the word "control," but added that it had "reported Saturday that Bessent signed off on a plan to give 'read-only' access to the payment system to a team led by Tom Krause, the CEO of Cloud Software Group, who is now working for the Treasury Department and serves as a liaison to Musk’s DOGE group that operates out of the United States Digital Service." "Overnight Wired reported that contrary to published reports that DOGE operatives at the Treasury Department are limited to ‘read only’ access to department payment systems, this is not true," Marshall wrote. Senator Patty Murray, the Vice Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, "rejected the idea that Musk allies’ access to the payments system was as limited as Republicans and the administration are claiming," as Politico reported.
